Thanks. In February 1964, whilst on the Driving and Maintenance phase of the YO's Course run by the RA Wing at Bovington, I bumped into a group of members of 95 AO Regt (probably 148 AO Bty). They were unusually dressed - dark blue berets, black denim tanksuits with a black leather brassard bearing the EonF circular format Combined Operations sign. An RSM's delight I would have thought!
